rHE PRIVILEGED CLASS.

4 special from Washington
iaies that a bill will be introduced
8ngross this week to give the
eidow Of Gen. John A. Logan
pension of $4,000 a year, and that
the Democrats are as enthusiastic I
over the proposition as the Repub-
licans. Gen. Logan, because he is
not millionaire, is believed to
have steered clear Of all the num-
erous corrupt and corrupting
schemes, which are hatched and
brooded in and around the Capital,
but is this any reason why his
family should be pensioned on the
country2 He has held high official
position, TO which is attached suf-
fioient emolument to keep the wolf
from his doors for more than
quarter Of a century. The people
have honored him in every way
possible except to confer upon him
ehighest Office in their gift. He
and his family have been the Ie
cipients ola nations bounty. They
have enjoyed more of the good
things of this life than 9999 out Of
every 10000 families in the land
aud they have more property left
than the average American citizen
can boast, and we repeat the ques-
ton; Why should they DC pension
ed upon the people, who are al
ready overburdened with taxes!
That mandlin sentimentality that
would wrong the public, merely
to prevent the defendants of great
men from finding their proper level
seems to have found an abiding
place in our Congressional Halls,
but il must not be allowed to be-
come permanent. There is no
more sound reasoning for the peo
pies mourning the expense of
burrying congressman than there
/ is for the State Legislature to set
apart a special fund out of which
the funeral expenses of State
officer should be paid, and thoro
is no more excuse for Con-
gress to pension the family of one
of its members than for the Legis-
lature of a State, or the Board OF
Supervisors Of a county to do the
same thing.
But the tendency is in Congress
and elsewhere, to build up and
foist upon the taxpayers of the
country a privileged class, and the
men, who engineer this sort Of
business are always ready to seize
upon such a pretext as the death
of a popular citizen, with a militia
ry record, gives them. Gen. Grant
was pensioned, Gen. Garfeld's
family we're pensioned and Gen,
Logan's family may be. and as the
custom grows it is possible every
congressman, who dies, will be
buried at public expense and his
family pensioned upon the people
but the congressman from this por
ton ofthe National vineyard, who
votes to encourage such things had
best shuttle OF this mortal coil soon
if he wishes to bo buried as q
National pauper and make his de-
eendants wards ofthe Government
for if he should survive his pres
ent term of Office, he viii find his
political winding sheet prepared
for bin by his loving constituents
Whenhe returns home.
The Yoemanry Of this section are
opposed to encouraging a privi
lodged class.

The spirited retort of the Merid-
ian Neos to the insinuatien of
Capt. Burkitt that Capt. Hardy
was being used by the "Penitentia-
ry ring" for ignoble purpose, has
been much relished. Sid King is
the man to do it when occasion re-
quires.-Forest Register.
We were not conscious at the time
Of having said any thing concern
ing Capt. Hardy and the Penitentia-
ry ring which should have provok-
ed any manifestation ofspirit on the
Rart Of the Neios editor, or any one
else. The article Of the Mems which
is so much relished by the Register
escaped our attention, but if Mr..
King attributed to our little squib
of few weeks since, a reflection
upon Capt. Hardy as an individ-
uaI, separate and apart from his
position as the President of rail
road company composed mainly of
convict lessees and whose capital
consists principally in convict
labor, he simply misjudged our
meaning, for it was not our pur-
pose to "insinuate" that he would
do that which it is not usual for
corporation Presidents to do, and
which by being so often done, has
come 20 be regarded by some very
clever people as legitimate. It is
a custom with corporations to
daily with the public and keep
concealed from the people interest
ed, the real location Of line of
railroad and to refuse to fix the
terminus, until they get things
"fxed" all to their advantage. It
was this custom; the law which
permits it, and the public senti-
ment, which justifes it, more than
the corporation representative, we
desired to eensure, and if there
was anything in our article which
could be justly construed into a
personal reflection upon Capt,
Hardy, no one regrets it more than
ourselves, and no enc can be found
more ready to make the amend.
honorable.

ABOUT THE JAIL.-HenTy Young, the
colored Jail keeper, satisfies the GOLD
LEAF that he is not altogeter to blame
about the matter of which We spoke last
weck-the inability Of the county physi-
clan to get I'm there at certain hours. HeHry
says he Is paid no salary for keeping the
Jail, only allowed 80 cents day each for
boarding the prisoners, and that he is IT.
quired TO be there but twice a day. at
O'Clock liz the morning 3 In Che afternoon,
when he gives them their breakfast and
dinner. This Of course is not enough for
him to live and support family on, and
IT, addition he follows his regular oecupa-
ton as painter.
In this the GOLD LEAF does not find fault
with the jailor butt censures such policy
on the part of the county authorities that
requires the prisoners to be left with no
one to look after or minister to them from
3o'clock la the afternoon until 9 In the
morning. OF course the Tailor some times
goes there between those hours, or IL his
services are called for. but Is not required
to do so. The GOLD LEAF thinks q reas-
enable salery shoxld be paid, and the Tailor
required to stay on the premises.

OUR MAN ON THE OUTSIDE.
CHIPS FROM A. HATCHETT.
OXFORD NOTES.


We went to Oxford on Monday to be
present at the grand opening tobacco sale
Of Messrs. Davis & Gregory, and although
prominent tobacco dealer there, who
used to live in Henderson, declined to take
the GOLD LEAF because it talked about
Oxfor d" we cannot refrain from making
some mention of tile large quantity of to-
bacco in town on that day, even at the ex
pense of two-dolIar subscription. which
would be very acceptable at "t this present
writing"
In an experience of twenty years in the
trade, we have never before seen so much
new tobacco on any market SO early as the
first week in October, every warehouse in
the place being filled, with many wagon
loads packed away in prize houses for sale
when it could be reached.
Unfortunately for them, the house hav
ing the opening sale, were forced to crowd
it to such an extent as to initiate some
what against the sale. The sale in this
house took two hours and forty minutes,
and from there everybody went to the
Minor house. where our young friend
sale was in the Meadows house, Meadows,
Wilkinson & Co., proprietors. This house
turned off about forty wagons in order to
give the piles the regulation distance Of 6
| by 1S inches, losing large commissions
rather than have the sale of their patrons
tobacco damaged by crowiing and walk
ing over. The cryer at this house, known
in all the markets as I'D. Meadows, the
best auctioneer in the Stat more than
sustained his reputation, selling, it was
/ claimed, three hundred and fifty piles in
one hour with entire satisfaction to both
| buyer and seller. The sale was conducted,
as usual, by the senior partner, John Mead
! ows, whose experience and Judgment SO EN-
inently fit him for the business, and it's not
remarkable that this house sells tobacco at
as high prices as anybody in the State.
The celebrity and correctness of w.
Wilkinson, the bookkeeping man of the
concern, is another reason of the house S
popularity with the tobacco growers, and
of it success the past year, which has COM
PEELED them to lenethen their selling floor
to too hundred and forty feet. Without Diet
riment to any other house in Oxford, Of
elsewhere, we are not going farther thar
the facts warrant when we say this firm
compose trio whose experience, energy
tact and integrity, place them in the front
rank of the best warehouSemen in the State
Satisfied with their success in the pas
they make no changes in their firm or bust
ness for another year, and we doubt mo-
that the farmers will appreciate what the.
have done and are continuing to do, to al
! extent that will make the coming yea
, more remunerative than the past. Even
, we had space it would be saperfiuous to sa
more of a concern so we'll known. In GU
. next issue we will pay our respects to som
, more of Oxford's energy and grit.
